Comradeship // Freechat

maybe not nothing. As a westerner, i think that in most cases you are seen as "second humans" not worthless, not inhuman but you will never have the kind of treatment and class like that of a European in the west.

I feel like the people here pity primarily white Israelis and secondly the Palestinians who are being bombed because they are "more civillized" and the Palestinian civilians dying are unfortunate collateral damage that has to be taken in order to protect "the only democracy in the middle east"

What's unfortunate is someone might feel bad and they will be given support (some of the time, other times chastised for their naïveté) while people connected to the affected are justifiably and rationally furious. The latter, whose likely material conditions are poor are verbally abused and their sentiments invalidated. Further justifying contempt and separation from the powers who allowed and did rectify the atrocious conduct.

As a result communities may become insular, which is a tragedy. Whatever cooperation or solidarity might have been possible withers away prematurely. And pointing any of this out to one of the majority never seems to be taken seriously. They don't have evidence on their side, only convenient sentiments which happen to aid them in their interests. It makes me question my sanity as at times I cannot tell if I am even in the same reality as others.
